Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of yellow apple and bosc pear, lemon cream, puff pastry, and peonies with a round, vibrant, effervescent, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, delightful, brisk finish that presents accents of baked yellow apple and pear, white flowers, lemon curd, and honeyed bread dough. An easy drinking and approachable BTG sparkler with loads of orchard fruit and crisp acidity.

Serve in a Champagne Flute
Brut is a term that defines dryness levels in sparkling wines; it is most famously used for Champagne, but it is a common term used around the world for most sparkers.

While Brut means "dry" for all intents and purposes, it can actually be off-dry or even lightly sweet. The definition of Brut for Champagne is between 0-12 grams of residual sugar, so Brut actually describes a range of sensations.

No matter how dry a Brut sparkling wine actually is in technical terms, it is generally dry enough to serve at the dinner table with most foods.
